My iPhone 5c was signed up with an old Apple account by mistake.
When I first got my iPhone, I accidentally gave he Verizon rep the wrong Apple ID. Now I can't get my Messages that are sent to my iPad to go to my iPhone. I want to change the phone settings so my iPad, iPhone and iMac will all sync together.
From reading other sites, I understand I might have to lose everything on my phone. That's fine, I can start fresh, but don't know how to go about it.
Would appreciate any help.

We definitely want you all the way connected to all your data/ messages, Gmapeg4! You're correct in that you'll have to do a Hard Reset/ Restore on your iPhone. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to do so: http://vz.to/12b8dpQ

HT5621 can't sign in with my old apple id
Can't sign in with my old apple id. and support is a joke. I want to update my faber acoustical but can't sign in with my new apple id I need the old apple id, but no matter what I do it won't take it I do remember it but it still won't go. or work I guess I'll contact fare acoustical.
I know that, so your reply was no help at all. Thanks. So perhaps I wasn't clear in my problem. I can't sign in with my old email and password because it has been deleted to make the new one, so how do I get the previous apps to upgrade, if possible? I have read a lot about using the same password for all apple emails or id's, but can you go backwards and add the old one back in. Again I am not sure I am making this clear enough so perhaps that's why I can't get good response.

How do i sign out of an old apple Account so i can use my new account
How do i sign out of an old apple account so i can begin using my new apple account
Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID) -

Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them. -
I just got a new iphone 5C. I am trying to clear my old phone and delete the icloud account. BUT on my old phone in the icloud settings it is still wanting to use an old email account that is no longer active, therefor it wont allow me to sign in and delete the icloud account. and it wont let me change my email address to my apple id that is current. suggestions?
Go to Settings, and then turn iMessage and FaceTime on if they are off. If they are on, then turn them both off, restart the phone, then turn them back on.
Go back to Settings > iCloud. Whether the current or old email address is displayed there, try your current password. -
iCloud on PC QUESTION: RE: Windows 7, Outlook 2007, iOS 7.1.2, iPhone 4: Changed iClould user ID to new email. Still have the old iCloud User ID [email] on PC and iPhone 4. ---- How do I change to new iCloud user ID [email] without duplicating or deleting my contacts and calendar in Outlook 2007. I just exported Outlook to a .pst back up file on my PC. I have had extensive contact notes. When I was originally setting up with Apple care in 2011, the contact notes duplicated several times within the contact and the contacts also duplicated, so I want to avoid problems.

This is my problem. Why doesnt it work with a new id but only for the old ones?!?
This isn't about your ID. It's about the fact that most of the new apps available won't work for your old version of iOS. You can try downloading apps with iTunes, then if the developer supports it, you will be able to go to the App Store with the iPad and see a link to a legacy version of the app. Good luck to you.

I recently changed from my old Iphone 5 to a new one. The Apple ID that comes up when signing into iCloud is my old Apple ID, yet the correct one is shown on iTunes and apps. I can't change the Apple ID to the correct one, and am unable to restore my latest back up from icloud. I have tried everything, but I can' t change the Apple ID on the phone. It stays greed out. My Apple ID is correct on my ipad and when I log into my iCloud account via the internet. How do can I fix this?
Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password -
I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?
On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps. -
I've been given under warranty what us supposed to be a new iPhone 5. When I try and restore it from my iCloud it keeps asking me to sign in with two other Apple ID's that are not know to me. Why is this?
Adding to KC7GNM's remark (with which I agree), the iPhone 5 you received is very likely refurbished. It is not brand new out-of-the-box, never before used.

Same for everything else that uses your email address. Facebook, Twitter, iCloud, on and on. -
Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id
Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id
When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs. -
I'm trying to activate my 2nd generation apple iPad. It wants me to sign in with the original apple id used to set it up. I no longer use it and don't know the password to the apple id. Also, the email used to set it up has been deactivated. Can anyone help???
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
If the Apple ID that was used on the iPad was yours originally you should be able to recover your password here:
